Rush

In March 1975, when Rush performed live at the Roxy Theater in West Hampton, PA, they were riding high on the success of their self-titled debut album, released just a year earlier in 1974. This album had made waves with its energetic sound and complex musicianship, laying the foundation for what would become their signature style. Interestingly, by this point in their career, they had just released their sophomore effort, *Fly by Night*, in early 1975, which showcased their evolution in songwriting and introduced the fan-favorite "Anthem." This concert marked a pivotal moment in their journey, demonstrating their growing confidence on stage, as evidenced by engaging tracks like "Working Man" and their impressive instrumental solos. Fans at the Roxy would have experienced Rush's raw energy, a taste of what would solidify them as one of the greats in progressive rock. It’s fascinating to think how this early performance hinted at the monumental impact they would go on to have!
